Best Way to pay Credit Card Bill

Guys I am redacting this post as I have been asked by the bank for non disclosure as mentioned in TnCs else my account would be suspended. They had asked me to remove this as this violates the TnC related to not getting reward points for CC payments.

Strange thing happened with me today!!

I had already mentioned that I didn’t receive any points on any of my IndusInd DCs this month.
So I had 2050 points of October month on my Visa platinum card, which I redeemed yesterday and the amount got credited immediately.

Today when I checked the balance it again showed as 2050…I thought it might have not been updated. So just casually I tried redeeming 2000 points again…and to my surprise it went through 😃. The amount was credited again!!!

I don’t know what happened here.

redeeming DC points from netbanking?
 
Ho
HDFC:
Most of us know that the best way to pay Bills for the Credit Card is the HDFC Bill Pay Portal, it allows us 1% reward rate for max 750 per month.
A person has to use the HDFC Bill pay portal via Netbanking/Mobile Banking for the same. (Using Easyshop Platinum Debit Card)

IndusInd:
The second best way is premium Indusind Debit Cards, i.e., Select/Exclusive Debit Card, it offers upto 0.93% reward rate and could be beneficial for those who frequently exhaust the HDFC limit,
Note: Paytm does not accept the mastercard variant of these cards, so in my experience Mobikwik does and gives the reward. For Visa Variant, paytm would work.
Unlike HDFC, Indusind offers incremental rewards for Credit Card payment, the rewards you get are (Brackets for total monthly spend):

Spend 5k - 0.35% - Rs 17
Spend 10k - 0.43% - Rs 43
Spend 20k - 0.56% - Rs 112
Spend 30k - 0.67% - Rs 201
Spend 40k - 0.72% - Rs 288
Spend 50k - 0.78% - Rs 390
Spend 60k - 0.83% - Rs 500
Spend 80k - 0.88% - Rs 704
Spend 100k - 0.92% - Rs 920
Spend 112.5k (Max) - 0.93% - Rs 1050
Here the max limit for Cashback is Rs 1050 a month as a person can get max 3000 reward points (1 RP= Rs 0.35)
How to get select / exclusive debit card

If I have 1 indusind exclusive savings account with three joint holders and 3 exclusive debit cards, (one for each holder), then--

1. can we get 3000 points per card (3x3000=9000 points per month) or
2. 3000 points only for the 1st holders exclusive MasterCard? Or
3. 3000 points for any one card only?
